we had such a lovely morning at the association for autism suppport group get together at besters bird park and zoodeqlan wanted to leave the minute we got there , he seemd tired and its a new place and there waas a vot of noise from the birds and other animals " you wanna dadas car !" deqlan often says you instead of i, as thats how we ask him questions " do you want ......" so he often says " you want" instead of " i want" but for alot of things he has started saying i, we will get there for sure !
anyway, we tried to push him just a little just to give the place a chance and first got him to feed the tortoises. for the first time ever he was actually interested in interacting with an animal properly and even stroked his head and felt his legs :) was amazing to see
then we took him past the monekys, kangaroo's, guinea pigs and bunnies and went into the little arfea with the baby chickens with him still asking for dads car. clever nanna picked up a baby chick and immediately got a smile and interest from deqlan! i was so grateful to get these photos as i think they show his absolute delight with them! he loved holding them and touching them, a little to rough at times, but we kept telling him and showing him how - it was so wonderful to see and i will treasure these moments always!
what a wonderful way to spend our anniversary!
rejoice in the lord always and again i say rejoice!
